When I go to tracker remover quick clean I click on it and it starts to remove cookies, temporary files and such. The problem is it is not removing all the temporary files in fact it is gaining in temporary files not removed. Does anyone have this problem or know how to fix it?

You are not alone.

Experiencing the same problem.

Received same response to the problem.

Have not received response to my question as to if my PC's security is at risk while this problem exists.

I am having the exact same issue. I use McAfee Livesafe with Windows 11 and it is not only not deleting temporary files with my tracker remover but is actually adding them. The problem started with 55 it could not remove & within a week its up to 220! What should I do?

This did not help.Temp files gaining rapidly yet and they will not remove with tracker.McAfee says they are aware of the problem.Almost a month now and still not fixed.Hopefully McAfee will get his problem fixed.I have over 1500 e led that will not delete.

Tracker Remover does not delete temporary files. It ADDS to them. I'm up to 673. I called the support line, and the person asked to take control of my device remotely. I mean really. McAfee needs to address this problem with a solution. What am I paying for?

I contacted Mcafee in regards to this issue. 

Until their software engineers can fix the program, those files can be removed manually by:

Right click windows icon at bottom left of screen

Hit:  Run

Type:  %temp%  in display box. Hit ok.

Delete all files displayed on the temporary file screen

Empty recycle bin

Worked for me. Ran McAfee Tracker Removal.  All temporary files were gone
